A New Year's Resolution is when you make a promise that you are going to improve some aspect of your life from January 1st, forward, and that it will become a permanent aspect of your life. The … [Read more...]

Okay, get your minds outta the gutter here! I’m talking about water, you know, good old H2O? Whenever I hear multiple messages about the same topic I start to feel like I’m meant to pay closer attention. Like I’m being hit over the head with it. Lately I’ve been hearing a lot of people talk about how much water you should drink. I get it; most of us don’t drink enough water. In fact, most of us are actually pretty dehydrated and have habitually been in that state for a … [Read more...]

Houston, we have a problem! When is the last time you had to debate with yourself about going to lunch? O.K., I don't see too many hands raised. When is the last time you debated going to workout? O.K., pretty much the room chuckled and raised a hand…some raised both.
Getting and staying in shape is an ongoing issue that we all face. Once January rolls around the “new” New … [Read more...]

Anyone on Facebook has seen all of the funny and crazy #TBT (Throw Back Thursday) photos that are posted. I recently joined the fun by posting a photo of myself that was from about 20 years ago. I had super big Texas hair. Many people got a kick out of the photo and commented on all the hair. The interesting thing is that I also got many comments on how I looked in that photo. Some said that my skin looks better now, 20 years later! And no, I haven’t had a brow or lid lift or any … [Read more...]

Last month, my favorite yoga instructor, Shohreh, informed me that she would not continue to teach the Saturday morning class after the start of the New Year. I have taken yoga from many different instructors and have witnessed many different styles over the years. Some great, some bearable, and some …… let’s just say they didn’t get a second chance. I empathize with anyone stepping into that class and trying to fill her shoes because Shohreh is just that awesome. In fact, she got a … [Read more...]

I know tons of people that continuously struggle with their weight. It’s up and down all the time for them. Old habits are hard to break and new ones even harder to create. It seems like they will be “good” for a while, lose the weight they wanted to shed and then the slow climb back up on the scale immediately resumes. One only has to take a look in the grocery baskets of most people to understand why they gain the weight back. But I’m not going to address our eating habits, portion … [Read more...]

I have been on this quest since the first of the year to live a healthier lifestyle. When you fall into bad habits it seems to take a little longer to bounce back because you have all of those foods that you love but that are bad for you calling your name every time you get hungry. Maybe it’s me but I crave them even more when I’m forcing myself NOT to eat them. Yes I need to lose a few pounds but I have decided that this time I’m not going to try and lose them overnight. I … [Read more...]
